Salaam everyone I want every ones opinion here please why some muslims are against milaad and they say its bidaah?

& Peace!

Organizing Mehfil-e-Milad is not permissible as per sharia b’coz it is a innovation (bidaah) is Islam. Our Prophet Muhammad never did nor Khulafa-e-Rasideen ever organized it nor Sahaba-e-karam and theirs companionsa nor followers also ever organized any mehfil-e-milaad as well as there is no prove of it.
Our Prophet Muhammad said:
Jabir b. Abdullah said: When Allah’s Messenger (may peace he upon him) delivered the sermon, his eyes became red, his voice rose. and his anger increased so that he was like one giving a warning against the enemy and saying:" The enemy has made a morning attack on you and in the evening too." He would also say:" The last Hour and I have been sent like these two." and he would join his forefinger and middle finger; and would further say:" The best of the speech is embodied in the Book of Allah, and the beet of the guidance is the guidance given by Muhammad. And the most evil affairs are their innovations; and every innovation is error." He would further say:, I am more dear to a Muslim even than his self; and he who left behind property that is for his family. and he who dies under debt or leaves children (in helplessness). the responsibility (of paying his debt and bringing up his children) lies on me." (Sahih Muslim Book #004, Hadith #1885)
Sunah Abu-Dawud - Book Types of Blood-Wit (Kitab Al-Diyat)’

**Hadith No. 4515: Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib: Qays ibn Abbad and Ashtar went to Ali and said to him: Did the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) give you any instruction about anything for which he did not give any instruction to the people in general? He said: No, except what is contained in this document of mine. Musaddad said: He then took out a document. Ahmad said: A document from the sheath of his sword. It contained: The lives of all Muslims are equal; they are one hand against others; the lowliest of them can guarantee their protection. Beware, a Muslim must not be killed for an infidel, nor must one who has been given a covenant be killed while his covenant holds. If anyone introduces an innovation, he will be responsible for it. If anyone introduces an innovation or gives shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (in religion), he is cursed by Allah, by His angels, and by all the people. Musaddad said: Ibn AbuUrubah’s version has: He took out a document. **
As per above hadiths. Innovation in Islam if prohibited. Let see what Allah SWT! Said in Holy Qur’an:

Surah Al Hashr - 59:7

And what Allah restored to His Messenger from the people of the towns - it is for Allah and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and orphans and the [stranded] traveler - so that it will not be a perpetual distribution among the rich from among you. And whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.

**جو مال خدا نے اپنے پیغمبر کو دیہات والوں سے دلوایا ہے وہ خدا کے اور پیغمبر کے اور (پیغمبر کے) قرابت والوں کے اور یتیموں کے اور حاجتمندوں کے اور مسافروں کے لئے ہے۔ تاکہ جو لوگ تم میں دولت مند ہیں ان ہی کے ہاتھوں میں نہ پھرتا رہے۔ سو جو چیز تم کو پیغمبر دیں وہ لے لو۔ اور جس سے منع کریں (اس سے) باز رہو۔ اور خدا سے ڈرتے رہو۔ بےشک خدا سخت عذاب دینے والا ہے **

Surah Al Ma’idah 5:3

Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah , and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

**تم پر مرا ہوا جانور اور (بہتا) لہو اور سور کا گوشت اور جس چیز پر خدا کے سوا کسی اور کا نام پکارا جائے اور جو جانور گلا گھٹ کر مر جائے اور جو چوٹ لگ کر مر جائے اور جو گر کر مر جائے اور جو سینگ لگ کر مر جائے یہ سب حرام ہیں اور وہ جانور بھی جس کو درندے پھاڑ کھائیں۔ مگر جس کو تم (مرنے سے پہلے) ذبح کرلو اور وہ جانور بھی جو تھان پر ذبح کیا جائے اور یہ بھی کہ پاسوں سے قسمت معلوم کرو یہ سب گناہ (کے کام) ہیں آج کافر تمہارے دین سے ناامید ہو گئے ہیں تو ان سے مت ڈرو اور مجھی سے ڈرتے رہو (اور) آج ہم نے تمہارے لئے تمہارا دین کامل کر دیا اور اپنی نعمتیں تم پر پوری کر دیں اور تمہارے لئے اسلام کو دین پسند کیا ہاں جو شخص بھوک میں ناچار ہو جائے (بشرطیکہ) گناہ کی طرف مائل نہ ہو تو خدا بخشنے والا مہربان ہے **

Hence there is no authentic source (in Qur’an and in Sunnah) which states this kind of Mehfil is permissible, although still many peoples orgazine such kind of mehfils and they think its a good deed. A matter of thought for them, isn’t Allah SWT! completed religion of Islam for this Ummat and our Prophet Muhammad conyed all those things which we must follow and obey. So organizing such kinda mehfil is an innovation (bidaah) in Islam and we should refrain from it.

In Sahih Muslim - The book pertaining to the Excellent Qualities of the Holy Prophet and His Companions (Kitab Al-Fadail)’ Hadit No. 5706:

**Anas b. Malik reported Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: Some persons from amongst my associates would turn to my Cistern; when I would see them and they would be presented to me, they would be detained in the way while coming to me. I would say: My Lord, they are my companions, they are my companions, and it would be said to me: You don’t know what innovations they made after you. **
If such kind of mehfil needed to organized then our Prophet Muhammad surely given green light to His companions. So its proved here that it is an innovation (bidaah) and it has nothing to do nor related to Islam as on the above said hadith clearly stated what our Prophet ordered us in last sermon.

In the light of above, scholars prohibited organizing such kind of mehfil but some others scholar differ and they says: it is permissible in case if there will be no joint gathering of males and females, music of any instruments is used. Then this will become a good innovation (biddat-e-husana). Although majority said that is not permissible in any conidition. If they argue on it then they can begin their allegations at the beginning point i.e. to the Book of Allah (Qur’an) and to the Sunnah (Serat-e-Mustafa Hadith) b’coz Allah SWT! said in Surah Al Nisa 59:

O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result.

**مومنو! خدا اور اس کے رسول کی فرمانبرداری کرو اور جو تم میں سے صاحب حکومت ہیں ان کی بھی اور اگر کسی بات میں تم میں اختلاف واقع ہو تو اگر خدا اور روز آخرت پر ایمان رکھتے ہو تو اس میں خدا اور اس کے رسول (کے حکم) کی طرف رجوع کرو یہ بہت اچھی بات ہے اور اس کا مآل بھی اچھا ہے **

Allah SWT! completed Islam for this Ummat, so there is no references in Qur’an to hold such kind of mehfil. Now let see what Sunnah says about it. There is no hadith which is in regard of hold such kind of mehfil.
Both kitab Allah and Sunnat-e-rasool have nothing to do in holding such kind of mehfils.

Importance of Darood-o-salam:

Reading darood-o-salam is one of best deeds as Allah SWT! Said in Holy Qur’an Surah Al Ahzad 33:56

Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask Allah to grant him] peace.

**خدا اور اس کے فرشتے پیغمبر پر درود بھیجتے ہیں۔ مومنو تم بھی ان پر دُرود اور سلام بھیجا کرو **

We can read it at any time, best we read after every prayers.

Allah SWT know best.

May Allah SWT! put us on right path Ameen
